Bizarre

When disaster struck

He was born, quiet and simple, yet the doctor physical expertise forced out an ugly cry...
His mother cried with a grin, his father teared to God, but only his aunt had come to visit him... he was the third boy. How unfortunate.

Summer 2020: ocean waves, sand and locked doors to prevent the spread of a new virus. Our dear friend Ei (A-ee) has now been living for 21 years now and after a series of... mishaps... he is in a room... alone.

What to do? What food to make? What games to play? How much work do I have left? These are all questions that went through that man's mind as he lay in bed, thinking if he's losing grasp of his smile or just bored... nah, as his brother once said during a time of great conflict in this man's mind, "What are you talking about? That's just bullshit, you're over charismatic, so lift up your head and smile dickhead".

Easier said than done... what would he know anyway right? It frustrates him to think that his own sibling would speak so little about something so delicate, however, his sister-in-law would understand him perfectly, "I get that your brother was trying to be helpful, but I made that mistake thinking it would be for the best of you, I'm sorry and I should have known better... This feeling we have, it's best if we heal together from it right? Just the two of us...".

Now where were we... Ah yes! When disaster struck, it struck suddenly as no one would expect it at all. Ei was born, but he was born quiet, as those who are born quiet are calm... but have a silent rage when wronged against. Why is that disastrous you ask? At a party last the year before quarantine...

"Hey man" said the stranger "you seen my girlfriend?", Ei shrugged as he did not know who was who, the one person who brought him to the party is also missing somewhere, where did she go?

"Hey" this time it was a girl, albeit wasted, "got a drink?" He did not, "then would you like to have one with me? C'Mon just one!" And she tries to pull him but he already had company... somewhere... Maybe he should head upstairs.

As sure as there was a lot of noise in the house party, it was not an easy feature to find his partner, his fantasy, his... worst fear. Out of the 5 rooms upstairs, the third one on the left is where he found his heart... broken and with the stranger who was looking for his girlfriend. How unfortunate... and infuriating.

Surely the strange man got to feel what it's like to lose a few teeth that day, Ei's courtesy, and his broken heart trying to remedy her mistake but it was too late, he did not know why he was brought to this place, why she brought him here, 'what am I, the little kid you couldn't avoid but bring along!?' He berated...

Since then, the cold demeanor remained and he never saw his heart again. Oddly enough, he would come to see the strange man again but with a different yet familiar face during a trip for essentials. It's the drunk woman, were they together ?

"Hey!" She saw him, he saw them, he would be irate but, no heart means no shits to give. "You're the guy who punched my boyfriend last year after I asked you for a drink!" He did what?
Correction, the lack of heart does not mean the lack of shits given, it means one hit wasn't enough. Ei looked at the stranger, then his lover and said "what happened to the part where he was in bed with another woman?" She was dumbfounded and in shock but she nodded as if to agree? " I fucking knew it," now the stranger was at the receiving end of a fury of a woman "you fucking LIAR".

Commotions are not unusual, if ever rare... in public that is. 2020 is a year full of those, hence why homes had bars on windows and fences on doors, you will stay in and never get out, BUT, who knocked on Ei's door? Disaster.

"Hey..."

His heart, and the drunk woman from before. He was... how does one explain this? How did she find him? How did both of them find him? Why are they there? Was it for him? Was it a mistake? Too much of a coincidence, but it can not be for him-

"I got your address from him" who is him? Oh... him, "and I'd like to first of all apologize for-"
"What do you want?" He spoke softly but not gentle.
"I came to explain why I left you alone on that night... and she is the reason!"
'It was not the stranger who fondled thy breasts and massacred thy lips as I opened the door that spelled DOOM!?' he though to himself, so he said something simple, "Bullshit".

"We were supposed to meet her! And then I couldn't find her and got drunk and-"

He held a finger up, standing by the door with this conversation is rather odd, plus, he knew the rest of the story already.

"So what are the both of you here for?"
The girls took a look at each other, frowns upon their face and then, him.

"I'm a mother Ei..." okay... what does that have to with him? It's probably that man's child anyway, right? "The child is yours...".

I beg your pardon? The child is his? Look at Ei's face, his eye are open to the roof of his home, are you trying to trap this man with your chenanigans?

Ah yes! I believe this chapter was called when disaster struck and our man here just found out that this, dear friends, is when shit hit the fan. How unfortunate.
